devourer quotes

Hail, hail, plump paunch, O the founder of tasteFor fresh meats, or powdered, or pickle, or paste;...Devourer of broiled, baked, roasted or sod,And emptier of cups, be they even or odd;All which have now made thee so wide i' the waistAs scarce with no pudding thou art to be laced;But eating and drinking until thou dost nod,Thou break'st all thy girdles, and break'st forth a god.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
